EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Melbourne in 1853. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of a newly-built street, showcasing the rapid development and growth that was taking place in this Australian city during that era. The scene is alive with activity as people go about their daily lives. Men and women dressed in traditional attire can be seen walking along the street, some carrying baskets or packages. A horse-drawn cart occupies the middle of the road, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The buildings lining both sides of the street are an intriguing mix of architectural styles, reflecting Melbourne's diverse cultural influences at that time. From simple wooden structures to more elaborate designs, they stand as testaments to a city on its way towards becoming a thriving metropolis. This historic engraving not only offers us a glimpse into Melbourne's past but also serves as a reminder of how far this vibrant city has come since then. It reminds us that every great city starts somewhere – with humble beginnings and ambitious dreams. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, we cannot help but marvel at how much has changed over time while appreciating what remains constant – our human desire for progress and growth.
